That’s a perfect apology if I’ve ever seen one.

Daiki upload a personal apology with an “explanation”.
Highlights:
- Foreingers looks older.
-My english is bad.
-The Translator misntranslated.
-I wanted to do fan service.
-I’m not a PDF.
-I’m suffering of psychological stress thanks to this.

My hot take and hopefully last update in this..
Thinking of doing “fan service” to non japanese fans in a non japanese context, is super fishy.
If you are aware that foreigners look older, that would not make you extra cautious when interacting to them?
if the wanted to meet at a live show… why he never said that explicitly?
At least he apologised to the girl.

bro i only skimmed thru this and dude had it coming (also why are we censoring the word PEDOPHILE with the tiktok spelling? there’s no cyberpolice here)
if child says she’s child then maybe just stop talking to her? thirsty men are so fucking dumb. fuck him.
Foreingers looks older.

The fact that for something “so serious” starts saying he used Chatgpt for the statement, the “mistranslation” between “im 37” and “im 37, but thats not a problem when it comes to going to a live…”, etc. everything makes him look even worse. This looks like a perfect example of better stay quiet and let some professional do the statement for you…

I guess it’s because they added that they’re going on hiatus?
Apparently in the hiatus Japanese note they left out the underage stuff…just “some socially inappropriate behaviour”… looks so bad they are trying to make it look like some “cultural differences shock” stuff, instead of for what it looked like…

This is a good catch.
When i added links, they were still updating and adding replies, so that info now is new
The japanese fans are fully aware of what happened though from what I have seen, so yeah …

Honestly if i was a fan of this band. The apology seems okay, they took the right actions in the end by kicking him out, thats what matters to me.

I am so busy now but trying to catch up with this, is Daiki fighting back on twitter? Or radio silence?
The statement Rena posted is the latest one

I think they are so nervous and shitting their pants right now, excuse the expression. Japanese people are not used to get a slap on their wrist for doing something wrong, especially not by western people. Then you can imagine how it is going domestically in Japan, behind the curtains. Just look at this band, as soon as they went outside of Japan they caused trouble.

Do Crossfaith even have photo ops with fans like small VK bands do?
Even if he clarified that it was only to “meet at a show”, plenty of teens have been assaulted at shows by musicians before.
Bro just got caught and now is trying to back peddle.

It’s not a honest clarification. In the full text exchange, is explicit when he asked the child to show him around to do tourism in germany. His damage control is more like fan gaslighting.
Crossfaith have ties with some Vk bands and for some bands that currently touring Eu like Deviloof and Jiluka, this must be dmamging in some sort.
